Ethnicity and Dating

As much as people, and many dating sites and social networking companies, like to think that collectively, we are mature, hip, sophisticated adults living in a post-modern society where race, ethnicity, religion, and skin color are really not THAT important when it comes to meeting new people, making friends, dating, romance, sex, marriage, and socializing in general. Yet, when it comes to dating over the phone or a Web site there are so many criteria when we create our personal profiles or to funnel our searches and personal choices for meeting that special someone.

Especially when relationship types lead to dating, sex, personal relationships, and/or marriage, the choices appear to be framed upon, for lack of a better term, "if then" rules. For example, some Caucasians might have a rule "If I'm white guy, then I want to hookup with a white girl", or "If I'm an Indian girl, then I want to meet an Indian guy".

If religion is an determining factor in dating, sex, romance and/or marriage then it might look be "If I'm a Muslim, then I should marry a Muslim" or "If I'm a Jew, then I should marry a Jew". Ethnicity and nationality are very common criteria too, e.g. "If I'm Russian, then I want to date other Russians", "If I'm Italian, then I was to date/have sex/marry an Italian", and so forth. Sometimes these rules may exist on a non-physical level.

For example, some people might think, believe, and/or feel that a stronger comparability and personality match is better based on everything from profession/training, e.g. "If I'm an engineer then I want to date another engineer", "If I'm a musician then I want to marry another musician", to star signs, "If I'm a Leo, then I want to marry a Leo", and so forth. We certainly have these rules with age range and sexuality, but the number of "if then" rules seem limitless, so keep counting!

But whether these silly "if then" rules hold water or not, it is difficult to deny they exist and the power they exert over choices when it comes to meeting new people for romance, dating, sex, and marriage. They appear to be part, small or large, of our identity. Are these "if then" rules explicitly or implicitly learned from our environment, schooling, from our parents, culture, and traditions? Who is to say, but what many chat lines and web online dating firms do is recognize the importance of choice when it comes to finding and meeting new people for dating, romance, sex, relationships, and/or marriage.

Quest chat line has tens of thousands of both single adult women and men ranging from various ages, interests, lifestyles, backgrounds, and personalities. There are 18+ teen female singles and male singles, middle aged professionals, executives, seniors, couples, and of course, thousands of young adults.

Intimate Encounters: Intimate encounters is subdivided into two chat groups: (a) Singles Seeking Intimate Encounters, and (b) Attached Seeking Discrete Encounters. The first group is perhaps the most popular for single women and single men looking for sexual partners and erotic play. Here, members describe what type of sexual relationship they are looking for. Usually it is casual and friendly with no-strings attached, e.g. a "sex-buddy".

Sometimes members are looking for one-night stands or a sex partner for the long-weekend. Sometimes, people are looking for a longer-term sexual partner. Sometimes, people are looking for a "quickie" or "afternoon delight" sex break when things are slow on a Wednesday afternoon in the office. When you call and listen to ads in the Quest system, there are wide variety of relationships you pick from. The second chat group "Attached Seeking Discrete Encounters" is just like the previous group with the exception that members are already in a relationship or are married, but still seeking an extra sexual tryst on the side. This chat group is #3 on the phone menu.

Fantasies and Fetishes: Fantasies and Fetishes is sub-divided into two categories: (a) Erotic Conversations, and (b) Domination and Submission.

The first group, Erotic Conversations is for both women and men who enjoy erotic conversations and sharing sexual fantasies over the phone with real people just like themselves. Arguably this chat group is the best for those looking for a convenient and quick sexual release without much time to spare. The group is also perfect for those who enjoy having secret erotic fantasies about their neighbor's wife, friend's 18+ teenage daughter, wife's sister, officer co-worker or secretary, Hollywood actress like Jennifer Aniston, Courtney Cox, or Jessica Alba, female singer like Beyonce, fashion super model like Heidi Klum, or Daria Werbowy, celebrity stars like Paris Hilton or Lindsy Lohan, or Adult Film Stars like Jenna Jameson, Sunrise Adams, and Devon. Maybe you have an eye for a female politician, senator, congresswoman, politicians wife, or girlfriend.

Now, if you consider all of the exposure of high-profile sex scandals covered in today's media including Julie Couillard and former Canadian Foreign Affairs Minister Maxime Bernier, FIA President Max Mosley who was videotaped in a London UK sex dungeon, or former US President Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky, it is fairly easy to understand how public events, ideas, and sex scandals can sometimes seed ideas into the sexual imaginations of both women and men who want to sexualize and role-play a fantasy scenarios over the telephone in safe, private, and discrete environment.

The second sub-group, Domination and Submission, is for people interested in BSDM, domination and submission, bondage and discipline, sadomasochism, verbal humiliation, erotic spanking, tickling, love bites, rough sex, waxing, foot fetishes, leather fetishes, dirty talk, phone sex, cyber-sex, exhibitionism, voyeurism, cuckoldry, and other intimate sexual tastes with like-minded consenting adult women and men in their local area. Here, members post a profile to the group and connect with other single women, men, and couples. This chat group is #4 on the Quest chat line phone menu.

Couples and Swingers: Couples and Swingers is, as you guessed, for couples and swingers interested in hooking up with other couples and swingers. If you and your wife or husband, female or male partner, or girlfriend and boyfriend like to watch, enjoy having sex with other couples and swingers, or are interested in exhibitionism, voyeurism, soft swinging or soft swap, full swap, group sex, and cuckolding call Quest Chat today and submit a free profile to the couples and swingers group. This chat group is #5 on the phone menu.

Quest Nation: Creating Your Virtual Blackbook

9 June 2008

Everyone needs a simple, yet functional, way to contact their friends n’ family. In your everyday life that could mean an email contact list or even a physical address book. Well, good news, some chat phone line services offer their very own customized address book.

After you’ve set-up your mail box, recorded your voice greeting and begun exploring the various membership areas, you’ll probably want to personalize your space. At Quest Chat , your Black Book helps you do all of these things and more. Think of it as your one-stop matchmaking tool! It helps you keep track of any member(s) that catches your fancy.

Custom Category : Imagine you’re totally into the Casual Dates & Get Togethers group. Without a Black Book, every time you call into the chat phone line, you have to select this group and the preferred age range for daters within it. But when you select this group as a custom category , you can skip several steps, jumping right into your favourite ads. Best of all, every time you go into your Black Book, you’ll get the scoop on any new ads that have been recorded since you last dialed in.

Winks : Think you can’t flirt on the phone? Think again! Your Black Book gives you the option of sending winks …delectable flirty phrases to other members. It’s one of the best (and easiest) ways to express interest and break the ice. Find out if anyone has winked at you by selecting #2 in your Black Book. Heard a wink that caught your attention? Simply press #2 to respond. Heck, you can even learn more about your particular admirer when you select the #5. Or get the ball rolling, by selecting the #6, and send your own wink.

Friend’s List : You have the option of creating a friend’s list in your Black Book. These are the folks you’re most interested in getting to know. After you’ve heard a recording you’re interested in, follow the prompts to include that person in your Black Book. The next time you get into the chat phone lines , go into your Black Book, and select #3. Instantly, you’ll discover which of your friends are currently on the system.

Private Notes : Chances are you’ll probably want to take a note or two on a potential date. With your Black Book, it’s as easy as selecting the #7 after you’ve heard a specific member’s ad. Remember, these private notes are for your ears only. They will not be shared with other members.

Quest Nation: Play Matchmaker with Your Membership Group

5 June 2008

You’re feeling comfortable with chat phone lines and are ready to make the next move into dating. Now, it’s time to think about who and what you want in a date.

Are you seeking a long-term, lasting relationship? Maybe you’re fresh to the dating scene, after a hiatus, and want something more casual and fun. Perhaps you’re feeling a little more sexually adventurous, like our fave Sex in the City femme fatale Samantha, and want to indulge a particular itch.

Just select the group you prefer and then follow the simple phone prompts. The easy-to-use chat phone line helps you narrow down whether you want local dates; choose a specific area or gives you the chance to cast your net more widely to include all calling areas offered by the service.

Next, it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty. Choose the age range for your potential date…or not. You can skip this step and instead take the spontaneous route exploring all ads in your chosen membership group. Spice is definitely the variety of life. Remember, you can join one or all of the different groups.

Ready to check out some ads? It’s so simple! Just select the ad you want to listen to, and if a particular recording catches your fancy on Quest Chat, enjoy every last word of it by selecting the #1 to rewind the ad by 10 seconds. Get even more deets about a specific ad by selecting the #5 after you’ve listed to it. You’ll hear what city your potential date lives in; when they were last on the system and the age group they fall into.

Want to express your interest in a particular ad? Let the flirting begin! Select #6 to send a wink (more on this later…). And of course, if you’re really feeling the connection, select #2 to send your potential match a message. Next up: You’ll make many friends on the chat phone line which is precisely why you need your very own virtual Black Book.

Now that you know chat phone lines are right for you, what next? First things first, you’ll need to set-up your voice mail box. It’s as simple as getting a mail box number and password. Oh, and forget waiting, it’s instant. You’ll have both within seconds of picking up the phone.

Next, you’ll want to record your voice greeting. Before you get a bad case of stage fright, take a deep breath. You’ll have as many “takes” as you like to get it right. Plus, everything is totally anonymous and private. Does the mere thought of recording a voice greeting send shivers up your spine? Relax, make it easy on yourself: create a short script.

On Quest Chat, you can actually select an option that gives you 30 seconds to write out your script or greeting. Need more time? Just select the option again. Now, onto the greeting…

Believe it or not, smiling while you talk can make all the difference. Who knew? Speaking loudly and clearly is oh so important too. And consider standing up when you record the greeting. People who choose to stand, when recording a greeting, convey a more confident tone to their listener.

Yes, word to the mumblers and low-talkers in the audience, both can be a big phone chat turn-off. Likewise, background noise is also a big no-no. Now that you’re getting into the swing of things, share a couple of details about yourself. But nothing too personal. Simple facts like the colour of your hair, your height and a couple of infinitely charming details about your personality should do.

Most important? Relax, breathe and be yourself. Then listen to your ad. Once you’ve got a final cut, you’re ready for the next step…choosing the right phone chat group for you.

Quest Nation: The Best Way to Find Your Next Date

2 June 2008

These days with so many different ways to meet your next date—from online dating to chat phone lines and even social networking—it can be tough to choose the medium that best suits you. Really, it’s a totally personal call. But there are some distinct advantages to meeting your next date by phone.

If you’re shy, or maybe just incredibly busy, or heck, even on a budget, hanging out in a bar may not be your best bet to find your next date. Let’s face it, it’s much easier after a tough day at work, to come home and hook-up with someone new from the comfort of your own place.

Still, that doesn’t rule out online dating. Again, it’s a totally viable option. Lots of people have successfully met their match online. But it may be hard to motivate yourself to get back into computer-mode from home especially if you just did the happy dance shutting down your computer at work.

Then again, maybe you’re just after an immediate connection that somehow feels more personal and authentic. There’s nothing quite like listening to the sound of someone else’s voice. You can learn a lot from their tone, the words they use, and even discover hints about their general attitude. All things that make it that much easier to choose your next date.

Without a doubt, that one-on-one voice connection is probably the biggest advantage to chat phone lines over online dating and social networks. That, plus the fact it’s entirely private allowing you to meet as many people as you like without revealing your identity. When you sign-up for a service like Quest Chat, you can easily and conveniently meet people in your own area. And it’s free to set-up your own profile, hang-out in audio chat rooms and listen to other people’s voice recordings and their personal profiles.
